Design
details:
With a mintage of just 109,000 (around half of the Kew Gardens 50p) the EC
Presidency is the rarest UK 50p coin to enter circulation. The 1992-1993
50p celebrates the UK's presidency of the European Council of Ministers,
and the completion of the Single Market. The design by Mary Milner Dickens
features a conference table seen from above, around which are 12 chairs
for the Council of Ministers. The UK is represented at the head of the
table which includes 12 stars; one for each member of the EEC, placed in
the geographic positions of their capital cities.
